Adding compatibility with Ckeditor #302

Closed carot2016 closed 5 years ago

carot2016 commented 7 years ago

Hello, a suggestion that Academic Blogger’s toolkit can work with CKeditor plugin in WordPress.

Thank you

dsifford commented 7 years ago

@carot2016: Infrastructure is now in place to add support for this.

Let me know if this is still something you're interested in and what version of CKEditor you're using. (Preferred version is CKEditor 5).

Hello, for sure we are interested but CKEditor for WordPress is only in Version 4.5.3.3. Is version 5 compatible with WordPress?

dsifford commented 6 years ago

Assuming you're talking about this plugin, it looks like the CKEditor team stopped maintaining the plugin over 2 years ago. I'd have a tough time working with that plugin because of how dated it is.

Additionally, it looks like the plugin itself has a few listed vulnerabilities which makes its use in general unsafe until the maintainer can fix.

Ideally, I'd be most comfortable working with the latest version of CKEditor. It seems a bit strange to me that the CKEditor team would just abandon their wordpress plugin being that it has over 70,000 active installs. Maybe you can reach out to them and get them to update?

That all said, I'll look into it when I get time. If the editor's API is the same between versions then it might still be feasible.

Due to WordPress merging over to the new Block Editor, I'm no longer going to consider this feasible.
